Right off the bat was Batman: Arkham Knight -- running on Linux thanks to Valve's Steam Play -- and showed the disappointing performance out of the RX 6500 XT. With this game the RX 6500 XT was even slower than the prior Navi RX 5500 XT 4GB graphics card, something also seen with some games on Windows too. The RX 590 Polaris meanwhile was a far more compelling graphics card. The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER was a far better option as well than the RX 6500 XT, assuming you can find the graphics cards at reasonable prices.

DiRT Rally 2.0 running on Linux again via Steam Play saw the RX 6500 XT coming just frames ahead of the GTX 1650 SUPER and behind the RX 5500 XT 4GB...

F1 2020 running on Linux via Steam Play with Proton and DXVK saw the RX 6500 XT just frames against the aging and common GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card on Linux.
